(a) Signing of Plat.
(1) When an escrow deposit or bond is required the Chairman of the Commission and the Zoning Officer shall endorse approval on the plat after the escrow deposit or bond has been approved by the City Council, and all the conditions of the resolution pertaining to the plat have been satisfied.
(2) When installation of improvements is required the Chairman of the Commission shall endorse approval on the plat after all conditions of the resolution have been satisfied and all improvements satisfactorily completed. There shall be written evidence that the required public facilities have been installed in a manner satisfactory to the City as shown by a certificate signed by the Zoning Officer and City Attorney that the necessary dedication of public lands and improvements has been offered.
(b) Recording of Plat.
(1) The Chairman and Zoning Officer will sign the subdivision plat.
(2) It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to file the plat with the County Clerk’s office within thirty (30) days of the date of signature. Simultaneously with the filing of the plat, the Zoning Officer shall record the agreement of dedication, together with such legal documents as shall be required to be recorded by the local government attorney.
(c) Sectionalizing Major Subdivision Plats. Prior to granting final approval of a major subdivision plat, the Commission may permit the plat to be divided into two or more sections and may impose such conditions upon the filing of the sections as it may deem necessary to assure the orderly development of the plat. The Commission may require the performance bond will require actual completion of improvements and be in such amount as is commensurate with the section or sections of the plat to be filed and may defer the remaining required escrow deposit or performance bond principal amount until the remaining section of the plat are offered for filing. The developer may also file in irrevocable offers to dedicate streets and public improvements in the sections offered to be filed and defer filing offers of dedication for the remaining sections until such section, subject to any conditions imposed by the Commission, shall be granted concurrently with final approval of the plat. In the event of approval or sectionalizing, the entire approved subdivision plat including all sections shall be filed within ninety (90) days after date of final approval with the City Clerk’s office and such sections as have been authorized by the Commission shall be filed with the County Clerk. Such sections must contain at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of lots contained in the approval plat. The approval of all remaining sections not filed with the County Clerk shall automatically expire unless such sections have been approved for filing by the Commission, all fees paid, all instruments and offers of dedication submitted and performance bonds approved and actually filed with the County Clerk within a period of time set by Commission.
